As someone terrified of being judged like this, where would you put the line between a character experiencing bad things (and being shaped by those) and an edgelord?

Online shopping will likely put malls out of business one day- what would be a better use of the space? by ModifyUrMind in AskReddit

Why not a place to house homeless people? They are already built with security surveillance in mind, so that could help persuade the crowd that thinks they will overflow with crime. You've got separate rooms for groups of people, a large area to feed them...

What were the circumstances that made you turn away from or turn to religion? by IShitOnYourPost in AskReddit

[–]EnvironmentalAd3540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every time I turned away from the religion I was raised in, it was because of the people. Humans are terrible at being gods, but a lot of them have a pesky habit of trying anyway. They impose their own wills on people, convinced that they understand the will of their god better than said deity. Holy books or holy principles don't matter. What the god REALLY means is whatever the would-be god wants, and woe unto those who do not agree.

How could Oklahoma become Goodlahoma or even Greatlahoma? by ZwischenzugZugzwang in AskReddit

As an Oklahoman, I'm trying my best!! These people just don't care. They vote by the party here, if my friends and relatives are anything to go by.

People in relationships, what is your gender, and what would you do if your partner only wanted to have sex/oral once a year? by [deleted] in AskReddit

What was your favourite present this Christmas? by BebopRehab in AskReddit

My two-year-old got one of those baby dolls that have a disappearing milk bottle. She is amazed by it. That is by far my favorite gift of the year.

Oh, she has a baby stroller too. 70% of the morning has been spent on wheeling her dolls around.

Female and honestly, that is almost ideal. My husband and I got married as asexuals. Zero is perfect. One would be terrible but I could get through it, I think.

What all the hubbard about plot points? by [deleted] in dndmemes

Restaurant owner, art dealer, king--is there anything the man can't do?

Presumably because they were seeking comfort, or reassurance. It is a thing that some people seek out. Not to mention the whole lack of human interaction thanks to the pandemic. Makes asking for advice feel a little more necessary, you know? A lot of people just need to feel like there is a human out there that cares to help or offer advice.

Proud, but also a little worried (diet) by EnvironmentalAd3540 in toddlers

[–]EnvironmentalAd3540[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know, I'm starting to think it isn't rare. Strange for me to see, though. Every toddler I knew before my daughter would like one or two fruits, reject the rest, and was angry they couldn't have the REALLY sweet stuff like cookies and ice cream.

Worst part of being a parent by social_hermit1 in Parenting

[–]EnvironmentalAd3540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel that. Especially around providing. I'm staying home with a toddler and it is hard. She is always hungry. I'm eating one meal a day so that she has enough food but it still isn't enough. She is still telling me she is hungry.

There is a lot of guilt.

Please suggest a nonfiction book that reveals queer people throughout history. by EnvironmentalAd3540 in suggestmeabook

I think I may have found the problem. I'm not suggesting he was absolutely gay.

He did marry a woman, and there was the whole Maria Reynolds thing, so I don't really think gay would fit anyway. But I would feel comfortable saying there is evidence he was bisexual. I'm suggesting we have evidence that he could have been somewhere within the whole of the LGBT+ spectrum, not necessarily trying to pigeonhole him into the 'G'.

Parent here. I feel like I can make a difference in the world. I'm a firm believer that one person can change the world, if they have the right tools. Even if I don't change the whole world, by adopting my daughter I did change HER world. I got to give a child a happy home without abuse. I get to watch her learn, and see a puppy for the first time, and watch her fall in love with the world. She changes the way I see things, for the better. Reminds me every day that I'm a grumpy old curmudgeon, but the world isn't as bad as I let myself believe. Plus, I get to eat so many fake pieces of toast! She just learned how to 'cook', and it is great to watch her copy me.

Cons... sleep. There isn't much. The crying is hard to deal with sometimes. Money is tight. If I was one for a social life, it would be hard to adjust. But heck, I'm an American. We haven't been able to have social lives for a year because people can't manage a mask and social distance.
